CHAPTER 30: THE HOSPITAL

Leo's POV

We quickly go down and place Mario on the stretcher.

I really hope he is alive.

No matter what he is still family and an important member.

Alejandro is about to pass out.

Luckily, the nurse called two more ambulances for us.

I can't actually believe this shit is happening, it's too much.

Everything is too much, but this is just on another level.

Marco crashing our meet, Mario being shot in his heart and Alejandro and me being shot and hurt badly.

"Nice work today dude, " Alejandro says.

Is he kidding me or is he going insane?

There is no nice work . Mario is dead or not. We don't know.

Alejandro has lost it.

"Alejandro the ambulance is here. Let's go. You are literally about to pass out " I say and don't reply to his comment.

"You didn't reply, Leo. You can't always be running away from the fucking truth!" he screams at me.

Does he really have to do this right now?

"We are not doing this right now, Alejandro! Get in the ambulance! Now!" I say with authority in my voice.

"We are soo doing this right now! Fuck you, Leo! Fuck you for everything wrong in my life !!!" he spits in my face.

What --?

"Can you just get into the damn ambulance? You will freaking die if you keep standing there and screaming at me for no rhyme or reason !"

"Don't tell ME what to do ! " he screams and lunges at me.

"Alejandro! What the Fuck? " I say and push him into the ambulance.

"I hate you ! " he screams and passes out.

Wow, this guy has lost his shit.

The nurse pushes me into the other ambulance and takes us to the hospital where Mario's fate awaits us.

Not only his but ours as well.

________________

Nat's POV

"Hello?"

"Hi is this Nat speaking?"

"Yes"

"Do you know someone called Leo ?"

"Yes "

What happened to Leo?

"He is unconscious right now with two other people. We found that your number was the last dialed so we decided to contact you. He is currently in the hospital where the other two are having a surgery. I will just text you the address. Thank you."

What the --?

"Uhh, thanks for informing me. I will just come "

Oh shit!

Shit

Shit

Shit

How could this happen ???

No

I have to go and see but what if Mario is there?

He will recognize me and tell Leo.

That should be the least of my worries right now, Leo is freaking unconscious and I'm thinking what will happen to me. I'm such a shitty person.

But I have to go see him.

Let's just go and see whatever happens.

I can't keep this secret any longer can I ??

I can't, not anymore.

He should know the truth and I should be the one to tell him.

Not Marco.

Not Mario.

Me.

__________________________

Leo's POV

We reach the hospital in 10 mins .

By the time we get there, Mario has already been taken into the ICU and doctors are doing their magic more like scientific work.

I hope their magic saves Mario.

I am sitting in a ward where doctors are doing I don't know what on me.

I really want to know what passed between Mario and Marco when Marco mentioned Nat's name.

It was really, weird.

I still don't get it.

If it was about that her being that girl then they're being dumb and overdramatic.

Again.

Alejandro has completely lost his shit and he too is in ICU as even he got shot and lost a lot of blood.

Me on the other hand?

Just a fractured rib or two nothing worse.

Better than them.

I hope Nat doesn't come here and see me.

She will surely beat the crap out of me.

And worse be disappointed.

I couldn't even save my members but what could I really do?

How the hell was I supposed to know that Marco would show up?

I should keep a spy who can spy on that jerk and tell me when he will show up and he would do.

It would help.

"Leo! Leo !" I hear someone scream my name.

I turn around to see

Nat

Damn, I have the worst luck ever.

"Leo are you ok ?" she asks me as soon as she comes near me.

"I am -- Wait why are your eyes red . Have you been crying ?"

"No ..." she says and looks away to wipe the tears in her eyes.

"Hey, look at me. See I'm fine. Mario and Alejandro are in critical condition right now. Those two are really important members. What if they die ?"

"They won't . Trust me . Everything will be fine. Even if it takes a lot of time. It will be fine though. Let me look at you ." she says and lifts my chin.

"You have a black eye! And god knows so many bruises on your face. Who did this to you ?"

"Marco"

I decide to go with the truth.

"That asshole. I will slay him alive if he touches you again. I will--"

"Shh. Shouldn't I be the one saying this ?" I chuckle.

"Are you really fine ?" she whines.

"I am. I am " I assure her

"I was worried sick. If you do something like this again, I will--"

"I can't promise you that Nat "

I really can't after all the war or fight or whatever this is has just begun.

"I know, but --"

"Excuse me, sir, are you Leo ?" a doctor asks me and interrupts whatever Nat was just about to say.

"Yes"

"Mario's surgery has been done "

"And--?"

The doctor gives me a grim expression and is about to answer when someone calls him.

"Excuse me," he says and dismisses himself.

I look at Nat and she hugs me.

"What if Mario dies ?" I ask her.

Afraid to know the answer myself.

Though I won't be in grief much, he pretty much deserved it.

"Trust me, he won't," she says.

I really wanna do Nat but I can't bring myself to.
